Philipovius Jérôme

Philipovius Jerome, (Polon. Filipowski,) must be placed among the earliest Unitarians of Poland, and thenpresidents and patrons, who, in the Conference held at Petricow, in 1565, strenuously defended their party. When Ochinus was on his way into Moravia, and was detained by illness at Pinczow, Philipovius kindly received him into his house, and took care of him; for whicli act of humanity he is said to have expressed his obligation in these words. " I thank God, brother Philipovius, that He has rendered thee worthy of conferring a kindness upon Ochinus, in such distress!" Philipovius was afterwards a person of great influence among the members of the Unitarian Church. He assisted at the Synod of Skrzynna in 1567 ; and many other assemblies of the same kind. Christopher Lubieniecius, Junior, married his granddaughter, Catharine Philipovia.
